Abstract: | The authors focus on research and development (R&D) - an increasingly important yet poorly disclosed productive input as a potential source of insider gains. The findings indicate that insider gains in R&D-intensive firms are substantially larger than insider gains in firms without R&D. R&D is a major contributor to information asymmetry and insider gains, raising issues concerning management compensation, incentives, and disclosure policies. |
